As well as that I hear support for Silverlight is being dropped in 
Linux, which I dont understand, as a lot of people are streaming films 
and things now on their computers. I know Love Film only works if you 
have Silverlight, and wont work in Ubuntu, I havent tried Netflix.....if 
both those dont work, then that is another thing that goes against 
having an Ubuntu only laptop.....
